Google Chrome OS…launching soon…

Previously there were many rumors that Google is coming out with there own OS but now it seems that rumors came out to be true. Google is launching with there own open source OS i.e. Chrome. Its a linux based operating system.

Basic features of Google OS will be light weight, speed, simplicity and most important is security and mostly they are targetting for netbooks. Currently netbooks is fully acquired by Windows XP OS. So definately its a big threat to Microsoft….Anyways lets wait till mid of 2010…..

LinqDataSource Implementation

Recently I got the project of implementing the Linqdatasource for Gridview and it was really a good experience and also got the power of .NET 3.5.

For implementing Linqdatasource, first we need the create the .dbml file i.e. Datacontext File, which will have the mapping of the table in the Sql Server to the Linq.

With the Server Explorer we just need to drag and drop the table and if we want we can define the primary key for that. So datacontext file is created (this is very simple example). If we want to have relation between the table, then we can have that relation also.

Once the datacontext file is created, than drag and drop the linqdatasource and gridview on the design. Click on the gridview and select for the datasource and than select Linq and then in the dropdown list select the datacontext file and rest is very much similar to the normal wizard setup.

After that just run the solution you will see the gridview populated. You can even sorting,paging automatically done without any code written in Codebehind. Also you can have delete and update automatically without writing any code.
You can try to implement its really very easy, handy nd poweful….

Windows 7

After really long delay I atlast installed Windows 7. First thing I will say about Windows 7 is that its really faster than Vista. Boot up time is faster than Vista.
I installed Windows 7 on VPC, since I don’t want to mess up with any of my partition data. And also VPC is very easy to use than to install on HDD.

For instaling in VPC you just have to create the New Virtual Disk, than after all the settings done, you just have to start and capture the ISO image of the Windows 7. Your windows installation will start. Its better if you give 2gb ram for VPC, it will run more smoothly.
Anyways will post my comments on windows 7. Please comments if anyone is facing problem installing Windows 7 in VPC.

There are lots of demand of MOSS in current IT scenario. If anyone is planning to switch the company than MOSS is appropriate technology to learn and than switch, so that you can have good package…

Limit text entered into a listview edit control

Recently I got a requirement of restricting the text entered into a ListView Edit Control, since there is no such property which will restrict the text in ListView control.
After extensive searching in google I got a very good link which implements the same as per the requirement.
